iPhone 6 Case Maker's Model Points to Larger Display, Ultra Thin Body

You seem to be a heavy user. I would double check your phone in case something is wrong, and having done that, if it is okay, go buy a Mophie Juice Pack. I have the Mophie Juice Pack Air that I use when I know I am going to have a very heavy day of phone use and I won't be able to re-charge. Good luck.

Yeah I keep eyeing these up, but it adds so much bulk and I have a very small profile case on my iPhone.

It's just a thing that's come with iOS 7 and the 5/5S for me. Never really had the same issues with 3-4S iPhones. I wouldn't even say heavy - I stream iTunes Match for 2-3 hours a day, 1 15min phone call, 30 iMessages and 10 emails a day retrieved (tops) with some data usage on Facebook etc once every few hours. Nothing strenuous IMO. Just don't think the battery is very good Have used all the battery saving options that are listed on the internet which has helped slightly, but it's still dead within 8-9 hours on a daily basis unless it's a weekend and it's on the side for the majority of the day. Then it lasts until bedtime

anyone else want a thicker phone?

is it just me or is thinner over done?

the 5 was thin enough, any thinner and it'll break leaning on a desk.

Talk about planned obsolescence

A bigger battery inside would have been nice. But I guess it leaves room for those battery case 3rd party vendors.

Too thin just might equal too fragile.

Apple marketing:
iphone 5 = the thinnest iphone yet
iphone 6 = beautifully, unapologetically thin
iphone 7 = the absence of thickness is the absence of compromise
iphone 8 = so thin we had to rethink how we do phones

Jony Ive: "From the beginning we realized designing the new iphone required a totally different approach. So we had to redesign the phone from the ground up and the result is simply... mesmerizing."

You're right! Phones should only be made for one type of person's use, and in this case, it's yours!

FYI I am positive you could find an Android device that ticks off all the boxes of things you're looking for.

Not just mine. I know there are regional and national differences. But where I live, pretty much all business users have by now converted to the iPhone. That should be reason enough for Apple not to further alienate different types of "professional" users. Maybe those business and pro types are not a huge portion of the market share, but they are influential.

Don't get me wrong: I'm a recent Apple "convert" and I'm 90% happy - which is better than anything Windows or Linux that I've experienced so far. But there are nuisances. How come that as a photographer I have to use non-Apple screens because their's are geared 100% towards consumers? How come Apple Mail doesn't work 100% with Exchange Servers? How come they still haven't figured out to make iCloud Mail more reliable?
And now we're supposed to follow Samsung into phablet territory instead of fixing the basics first?
